Argentario Secret Villa

Steep road down to a spectacular location! The views of the coastline were breathtaking, unspoiled and private. Very comfortable house with gracious hosts.

As advertised, the views are absolutely amazing. This is the place to be if you want beautiful views, peace, and tranquility. The charming villa is rustic with modern conveniences. We enjoyed home-cooked meals and sitting on the deck under the pergola and the palm tree. The traditional Mediterranean landscaping completes the peaceful scene. Quiet. Easy to relax away from the busy modern world. But close enough to explore Porto Santo Stefano and take the train from nearby Orbetello.

The property was beautifully furnished and in a stunning location. Totally private but not isolated. The garden felt like an oasis of palm trees and olives.

We had an amazing stay at this beautiful property! The location and views are unbeatable. The house is very well appointed and the private poolIs a dream. Communication and ease of rental was top notch. We will definitely be back!

I’ll start with the good things, of which there are 2: the view is absolutely stunning, and the secluded location of the villa is perfect. All the rest is absolutely terrible, especially at the price tag of the villa. First of all, the pool is not a solid structure but a waist-deep fabric makeshift. The bed mattresses are cheap thin abominations with a waterproof inlay, which with a lack of air conditioning in a 30-degrees heat by the end of the week makes you sleep in a pool of your own sweat. Did you just read there’s no A/C? Yes you did! Be wary when reading the property description, as there is indeed no air conditioning installed at this top-rated villa. Hosts will tell you this is a conscious choice aimed to match the rhythm of nature (I think they are not sincere). Wi-Fi is terribly slow. There is a lot of rusty wire sticking out of different pieces of furniture, be careful not to hurt yourself (I wasn’t). On the property you will find 6 sunbeds, but not a single parasol - which one would think could be useful in highly heat with no A/C. Also, about a week before the check-in hosts will inform you have to dispose of all your trash before you leave (a 20 minute drive one way to the nearest waste disposal point). They will also try to take an additional cash deposit, and charge you the excess of use of electricity - reverting these demands when confronted. The biggest problem is that for a top-rate price tag you are getting a comfort and the service of a 3* motel. Sad.

Isabella & Roberto's home is absolutely amazing. They were incredible hosts and we had a lovely week at the villa. Some of the best views in Monte Argentario. We can't wait to get back!

We had an incredible stay, the house is beautiful, the town is wonderful, I cannot say enough good things about it ! We will definitely be back

The place is just marvelous!
